Vice-captain of the Indian women's cricket team
“We've had times when we could have won matches, but we couldn't this year.”

“And again, this team being this young, we are always a work in progress. There's going to be a World Cup, but it's a work in progress. If you keep thinking about the World Cup, the next one won't come. If I had to review it more critically, I would give it 7 out of 10. We have many areas to improve as a team”
